I am still getting the SOS error however. Also, my iDrive controller is still inoperable and I have no radio audio...
Note that I suggested leaving the 10A Fuse in F14 Socket, BUT using SPARE 10A fuse (positioned in "horizontal" as opposed to "vertical" position, ABOVE fuses F11 - F15).

Reason for that is that, for 2008+ Models, F14 powers the CIC or Radio, depending upon Vehicle Options Installed. So I would suggest NOW removing the "horizontal" SPARE, and inserting it in F14 Socket which you earlier circled, and see what still does NOT work with Ignition ON.

If you continue to have an issue with your Radio/Audio (or anything else ;-), please enter your VIN into a VIN Decoder such as that linked below, and let us know what Audio Option you have, such as S676 Hi-Fi, or S677 Top Hi-Fi/ Logic7.
